Viet Nam's vision of a modernized developed power can, and will, look very different than the development of Western nations. Viet Nam is pressured by developed nations to develop in sustainable ways that limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in the atmosphere. To this end, developed nations are willing to invest both academic knowledge and financial incentives to promote the strengthening of forestry in the tropics (Lam, 2016). Viet Nam can benefit from these contributions, by applying resource conservative techniques to produce larger ag commodities at a lower cost. By forging strategic partnerships, Viet Nam can continue to improve upon their infrastructure, workforce education, and quality exports.
In refining their national aesthetic, Viet Nam is capable of collaborating with the developed world for an economically viable, flourishing economy if they take advantage of all the resources available to them.
This video demonstrates an example cited in Lam's paper, referencing the partnership between Norway and Brazil in an effort to mitigate global greenhouse gas emissions.
